"Today was a magical day. Another day to be grateful to be alive. Alisha, Selena, and I went together to get ; tattoos. The ; symbol stands for an end of one thought and a beginning of another. Instead of a period, authors use the semicolon to continue a sentence. For us, it means a beginning of another chapter in life, in lieu of ending your life. I struggled with addiction and depression issues through high school and early college. I reached out and asked for help. At the time, I thought my life was over, I thought I'd never live past the age of 21. Today I'm grateful to be alive, in this new chapter of life in recovery, standing with my colleagues and friends, making art that helps other people. If you're struggling, if you feel suicidal, I urge you to click the link in my bio. Ask for help. Start a new chapter with the support of others. RIP Amy Bleuel, who started the semicolon movement."

"Mark your calendars for April 16 and join others all around the world as they wear their semicolons proudly while declaring that their stories are not over. Remember to post your semicolons using our hashtags: #ProjectSemicolon #SemicolonProject416 #semicolonmovement"

I, for one, just marked the day in my calendar. I hope you will consider doing the same.
